The COVID-19 pandemic

[jeffster]

Locally we are now up to 12 confirmed cases, including the first two community transmissions (two females in their 20s).

With community transmission, it’s clear that Covid-19 has gone viral.  I hope there are enough medical supplies to fight this virus.

Probably not. I am expecting more extreme measure over the next few days. Martial Law or some sort of War Measures Act forbidding people to leave their homes except for grocery/pharmacy/medical. Slight possibility that drive-thru's survive, but with rules, but I don't it. I'm visiting a friend tonight as it might be the last time we're allowed out.

This is getting out of control. I had hoped that this was simply being blown out of proportion, but obviously that's not the case.

I stand by with what I said earlier, though, with a 20-30% unemployment rate before it gets better.
